It is the parties’ understanding and intent that the Event be considered a public sector event, and be entitled to exemption from certain taxes otherwise due as a result of the Event. The parties will use best efforts to preserve any such tax exemption to which U.S. Soccer or the LOC may be entitled. Venue Manager shall assist U.S. Soccer and the LOC in filing all necessary forms and paperwork necessary for this tax exemption."
